How do I change the "File type" back to the defaul?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

For some reason, all my *.jpg files have the name "Omnipage Image Document"
in the 'File Type' column of Windows explorer.

How can I change this column back to "Jpg type"?.

Please help, Frank

Hi,

Open the Omnipage software, check its options to see if it has one that
makes it the default program for .jpg's. If so, undo it.

Thanks I have tried this to no avail.
Is there something in the registry I can fix?

You might want to go to this web site:

http://www.dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.htm

Download and run the JPE/JPG/JPEG Association fix. Hopefully,
that will fix your problem.

Good luck

The problem with that fix is that there is a setting in the Omnipage
software that is overriding it. Until you undo it, it will continue to
resist any other attempts to change the default association.

Thanks for pointing that out. I should have known it wasn't going
to be that easy.

I tried this too, but seems to be no way to do this. I tried removing the
software (OmniPageSE - an ocr scanner) and reinstalling, but everything
remains the same.

Hi Frank,

Check deep in the options/preferences of the program. Doug'd fix will likely
work (he's pretty good with this stuff), but it may be temporary and not
last beyond the next boot if Omnipage usurps the file association.
